wow. today's service was a blast.

shirley's conviction is great man. today's breakthrough1000 was so like, divine. I was so recharged and the fresh mana from shirley was indeed powerful. i must continue to preserve this conviction and passion in me, to be able to do God's work powerfully. i need to be close to my source, always refreshed. We are going to plunder hell. We're going to diminish the Kingdom of Darkness. So long 1 person have unheard of Christ, WE WILL GO FOR HIM/HER. Its only a school we're saving. We have a WORLD to win! We don't have time for resting now! The end is yet to come! Sharing your love, loving you. Sharing the gospel, glorifying, praising and pleasing you. Living a purposeful life!

is there anything too hard for the Lord to do? if there is, He isn't God anymore isnt it?
I know the power of the God that I serve. The God which is omnipotent. The God who's love rescued me from damnation in hell.
If He describes the place with such a strong word, doesn't it show His worry, concern and the seriousness about the issue?

i need to have more faith. faith in God, faith not dependant on circumstances. during UCTM, i felt God's presence like flooding and choking the place or sth. haha.

i must stick close to You and get my conviction. How am I to convict the people without my myself being convicted? But anyhows, I'm going to build up my conviction, from what God has given me through Shirley's sharing in breakthrough1000. I need to get my own share of mana and passion from God.

i simply worry too much, and God reminded me of a verse, during UCTM worship. matthew 6:33. I hesistated, and wondered if it was a word from God for the group, so I somewhat didnt dare to share. [oh no, i'm disobedient. lol.] So after worship, I went to read the whole part, the sub topic. Here it goes:

Do Not Worry
25"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life[b]?
28"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Check out what does the title says. DO NOT WORRY.
HAH. I guess its for me then. :D

So here I am, learning to take things easy. Anyway, got to balance la. As far as I am discontented about the group's growth, and really want to push them to work harder, I have to consider their maturity, in both sense. So I wil still push them, but not till over the limit.

Also got to have breakthrough. The Spirit of Excellence. Shall be faithful, if you can't manage the small things, what position are you at to say that you can tackle the big ones? Anyway, so long that one is faithful and gives his best in what he is entrusted, God will naturally give more, and the ministry will flourish by itself. Sometimes its on the group, the sheep or the new believer. Its seriously the leader. Holy Spirit, guide me more. I'm so going to pray harder and work harder.

Pray like everything depends on God, and work like everything depends on you.

Its been a great Saturday. I love it. Its like finally, one of those long-awaited moments. I seriously look forward to another one. And, I'm starting to enjoy service more much now, after loosening my woes. Haha.

Gotta stick close to God. Give my best.

Spirit of Excellence.
Self-convicted.
Sticking close to God.
